This Shih Tzu had to hold tight as he faced the wall while being blow-dried at a grooming salon.

Simba looked unimpressed with the treatment during a post-bath drying session in Cavite, the Philippines.

Amusing footage shows the one-year-old pooch standing upright on his hind legs, pressing himself against the green wall in the corner of the room on August 2.

Meanwhile, a pet groomer was seen using a high-velocity dryer to blast away the excess water from his fur.

Clearly overwhelmed by the noise and warm air, the leashed pup clung to the grooming stand and buried his face against the wall.

In the background, his amused owner could be heard laughing at the pup's dramatic reaction.

Blow dryers can be extremely loud, and dogs have much more sensitive hearing than humans. The sudden, intense noise can be overwhelming.

Additionally, the strong gusts of air may feel unnatural or even startling, especially when directed at sensitive areas like the face, ears, tail, or paws.
